Chapter 153 The Strange Formation (Second Update)
At this time, it was sunset and dusk, and the earth was dyed golden by the afterglow.

Nie Zheng, supported by a group of leaders, quickly rode his horse up the hillside, and the four thousand dragon and tiger troops following behind rushed up like a tide.

At the moment when everyone just boarded the broken roof, suddenly, the sight in front of them suddenly became clear.

Below the hillside is a vast and endless plain, overgrown with weeds and barren.

At the end of the plain full of weeds, an incomparably majestic city loomed in everyone's sight.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng reined in his horse slowly, looked at the huge city in the distance, and murmured in exclamation: "What a mansion in Annan County, what a city that is the largest in the southwest!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at the distant city frantically, with exhilarated expressions of admiration.

Nie Zheng raised his horsewhip violently, laughed proudly and said, "Brothers, Yangzhou City is just ahead, follow me to the city, let those people of Dayue see and see the majesty of our Dragon and Tiger Army!"

"it is good!!!"

The four thousand elite dragons and tigers applauded in unison, and their aura soared to the sky.

"drive!"

Nie Zheng galloped his horse down the hillside. Dozens of leaders including Shi Zheng and Niu Meng hurriedly rode their horses to follow, for fear that something might happen to Leader Nie.

At the same time, the four thousand elite dragons and tigers on the hillside surged in momentum one after another, screaming and sweeping down the hillside, rushing towards the city at the end of the plain like a whirling cloud.

The Dayue people in Yangzhou city seemed to have sensed the enemy's arrival long ago.

Just when Nie Zheng's team appeared fifty miles away, General Dayue in the city ordered everyone outside the city to return to the city.

Today, outside of Yangzhou City, there is an open space, and there is no one to be seen, except for the 4000 horses galloping down from Paomaling in the distance.

Outside Yangzhou City, on the plains, war horses are galloping, with great momentum!
Soon, Nie Zheng led an army of four thousand dragons and tigers, approaching the city for several miles.

When the siege army was still five miles away from the north gate of Yangzhou City, Nie Zheng, who was in the lead, suddenly raised his arms to signal the whole army to stop advancing.

Suddenly, the four thousand elite dragons and tigers who followed closely stopped at the same spot, waiting for the order to move on.

At this time, Nie Zheng suddenly turned his head and called out, "Where is Chen Shou?"

"Subordinates arrive!"

After hearing the leader's call, Chen Shou immediately trotted all the way to the front, and bowed to Nie Zheng who was sitting on the horse, "What's the leader's order?"

Nie Zheng gave him a cold look, and asked, "According to your observation last time, those green-robed monsters have placed a large number of dark red cages outside the city. Where are those cages placed?"

"It's just in front of the city less than three miles away."

Chen Shou turned around and pointed to an empty place two miles away, and said, "There is a moat about ten feet wide under the city wall, and within two miles beyond the moat, a large number of dark red cages were placed that day."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng nodded and ordered loudly: "Fifty scouts will lead the way, and the rest of the troops will advance two miles!"

"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

Under Nie Zheng's order, a leader led fifty scouts and rushed to the front of the team to scout the way. At the same time, the rest of the brigade led by Nie Zheng followed closely.

However, this time, Nie Zheng ordered everyone to slow down.

After all, knowing that outside the city of Yangzhou, there is a large formation blocking the way, so everyone must be careful.

Nie Zheng rode his horse forward slowly, Shi Zheng, Niu Meng and other leaders surrounded him one after another, intending to protect his safety and prevent those sinister and cunning Da Yue natives from ambush killers in the soil to assassinate.

As the team continued to move forward, Nie Zheng sat on the horse, secretly feeling a little strange.

The distance to the city is getting closer and closer, why the legendary defensive formation did not appear in front of my eyes at all?
The only thing that made Nie Zheng feel a little strange was that outside the city, there was a strange area about two miles wide.

In that weird area about two miles wide, the ground is full of dry soil and sand, with no grass growing on the ground. From a distance, it looks like a huge yellow-brown fire isolation zone, surrounding and isolating the entire city.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that this strange isolation zone is weird?"

Thinking of this, he called Chen Shou to him again, and asked carefully: "Chen Shou, those green-robed monsters you saw last time, did they put all those black and red cages in the barren, dry cage by the front door?" within the area?"

Chen Shou nodded and said, "Exactly."

Nie Zheng asked again: "Can you still remember the specific places where the cages they placed?"

Chen Shou shook his head, and said: "I don't remember, those green-robed weirdos, when they placed the cages, they were chaotic and irregular, and in the dry area ahead, there was no feature to remember. Therefore, it is difficult for subordinates to remember the exact location of those cages."

Nie Zheng pondered for a moment, then said, "A lot?"

Chen Shou nodded and said, "Many, there are at least a thousand dark red cages just in the area around the North City Gate."

"so much……"

Nie Zheng took a deep breath, and unconsciously, his face gradually became gloomy.

Something is wrong, there must be something wrong with those cages!
The more Nie Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the boring area ahead.

As for what is wrong, we can only go to the vicinity of the boring area and send some alert and sharp people to go in and check it out.

Just like that, fifty scouts scoured ahead to open the way, while Nie Zheng led the brigade and slowly followed behind.

During this period, there has been no abnormality.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, Nie Zheng led four thousand elite dragons and tigers, and stopped advancing again.

At this time, they were about three miles away from the city in front of them.

At the same time, a hundred meters away in front of them was that dry and dry area.

After arriving near this mysterious area of ​​withered grass, Nie Zheng gave an order on the spot to make everyone stay vigilant and be careful. Without his order, no one is allowed to enter that strange area where not a single blade of grass grows.

At this time, Nie Zheng looked at the mysterious area in front of him, which was completely empty. He didn't see a dark red cage similar to what Chen Shou said.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Chen Shou, why didn't you see those cages you mentioned?"

Chen Shou's eyes were also full of doubts, "My subordinates don't know too well, but a few days ago, we clearly saw those green-robed monsters place a large number of dark red cages in this boring area. How strange that they suddenly disappeared!"

Hearing this, Nie Zheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Shi Zheng!"

"Subordinates are here!"

Shi Zheng quickly walked up to Nie Zheng, and said respectfully, "What is the leader's order?"

Nie Zheng glanced at him, and said in a deep voice, "Choose 30 people now, and go to the boring area at the front door to investigate and see what's weird there."

Shi Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Yes, this subordinate will do it now!"

After a while, Shi Zheng selected thirty strong and quick-witted elite warriors from his subordinates, and ordered them to investigate the truth.

Soon, thirty elite dragons and tigers formed a defensive formation with weapons in hand, and slowly walked towards the boring area ahead.

It didn't take long for the thirty elites to carefully enter the boring area where not a single blade of grass grew.

When they just stepped into this area, their eyes dimmed, and the vision suddenly appeared!

In an instant, they only felt that they were in a fog filled with black smoke. The thick fog was rolling inside, and they couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly.

At the same time, a scene that terrified them appeared!

Within the mist, a violent tumbling change suddenly began to occur. Then, they found that the companions who had gathered in a group had all disappeared out of thin air.

On the spot, they looked horrified, and their faces were extremely pale.

Facing such a strange scene, how could they dare to stay any longer, so they all relied on the memories in their minds to exit the strange fog barrier along the direction they came from.

However, at this moment, an extremely terrifying scene appeared!

Within the fog barrier of billowing black smoke, all of a sudden, sand and rocks were flying, and smoke and dust filled the sky. The way they came before had all disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, within the fog barrier rolled by the thick fog, there were bursts of howling ghosts and howling wolves. The sound was extremely shrill and eerie, and scared the thirty elite dragons and tigers. cold sweat.

Finally, they couldn't bear the horrific sounds and horrifying scenes inside, and they began to panic, running around in the fog barrier like a group of headless flies, looking terrified.

However, the more they were like this, the more eerie and frightening the scene before them.

All of a sudden, within the thick fog and howling ghosts and howling wolves, dark shadows appeared one after another. Those black shadows were like ghosts and ghosts, moving and floating around them extremely quickly.

Seeing this scene, the thirty elite dragons and tigers were all trembling with fright. They took up the weapons in their hands one after another screaming and screaming, swung wildly and hacked, trying to smash all the eerie ghosts around them.

However, just as they waved their weapons, a more terrifying scene appeared.

In the fog barrier, the light of the knife danced, and the blood splattered all over the sky.

At the same time, within this eerie fog barrier, screams of terror and despair continued to be heard...
